Soya Kheema Muttur Curry

I'm a vegetarian who loves eggs & dairy. So I like to call myself as a Ovo-lacto vegetarian (as defined by wiki). Now there are days when I jumped to being a vegan & tried very hard to maintain it too. Very soon I learnt that I could never do that so left it to woods. Life was easy being a vegetarian because we do have lots of supplements for meat products & also creates a perception that we are eating healthy.

Coming to the recipe I made a kheema mutter curry-replacing meat with soya chunks. It tasted awe some & was a good combo for roti.

Ingredients

1 Cup dry soya chunks/ meal maker

1 Cup green peas

1 Tbs Ginger garlic paste

1 Medium onion chopped

2 Medium ripe tomatoes chopped (Replacement for lemon juice)

1 Tbs cumin coriander powder

1 Tbs red chili powder (Adjust acc.)

3 Tbs sesame oil

1 Tsp garam masala powder

3 Tbs fresh coriander leaves

Salt 

Heat a big pot of water. Bring water to boil. To that add soya chunks & cook them for 5mins. Switch off heat & be careful while handling it. Filter the soya chunks & let them cool for some time. Now cut them in to small pieces which just looks like a mince of meat or a little larger than that is also fine.. Now the soya kheema is ready

Heat a wide pan with oil. To that add onions & fry them till they are light brown. Add ginger garlic paste & tomatoes to pan. Stir fry them & add then add soya kheema, peas, garam masala, salt, coriander leaves, cumin coriander & red chili powder. Sautee them for few seconds & to that add coconut cream along with ½ cup of water. Cook on low heat with closed lid for 10mins.

Mix well the ingredients & check if the peas are done. Cook on a low heat with lid open for 5mins & switch off heat.

Serve it warm & it's just yum.
